Karry Corbett, 47, Filmed Spewing Racial Slurs In Abbotsford Viral Video Pleads Guilty To Assault

Darpan News Desk, 22 Sep, 2017 04:29 PM
    A 47-year-old Hope, B.C. man has pleaded guilty to assault charges after a racist rant was caught on video in an Abbotsford, B.C., parking lot.
     
     
    Karry Corbettt was charged last year after an Indo-Canadian lawyer posted his two-minute video online.
     
     
    Lawyer Ravi Duhra began filming when he became concerned about Cobertt’s behaviour towards the parking enforcement officer, but that’s when Cobertt’s attention turned to Duhra and he started shouting comments including "White power  motherf*****" and "Go back to India."
     
     
     
    Corbett was subsequently charged in relation to his interaction with Duhra and with the 72-year-old parking attendant.
     
     
    In February of this year, Corbett received a 45-day jail sentence and one-year probation for charges of uttering threats and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose in December 2015 in Hope.
     
    In April, he was handed a one-year driving ban for driving while prohibited in September 2016 in Abbotsford.
